GitHub shares advanced GitHub Copilot CLI tips from Evan Boyle, focusing on querying a local SQLite database to inspect session history, recover context from prior bug fixes, and review prompting habits to improve future terminal commands.
In this Microsoft news post, stclarke outlines what’s new across Microsoft Fabric and SQL at FabCon/SQLCon 2026, including Database Hub, OneLake updates, Fabric analytics runtime improvements, Fabric IQ’s semantic layer, and new developer tooling like Fabric MCP that can connect GitHub Copilot to Fabric.
John Savill's Technical Training walks through installing and using GitHub Copilot CLI plus the Work IQ plugin, including prerequisites (PowerShell 7, Windows Terminal, Node.js), login/auth steps, and examples of interactive and non-interactive agentic CLI usage.
Pamela_Fox shares a six-part “Python + Agents” livestream series recap with links to recordings, slides, and runnable code that teach how to build AI agents and agentic workflows in Python using the Microsoft Agent Framework, including context/memory, observability, evaluation, orchestration patterns, and human-in-the-loop checkpoints.
Microsoft Fabric Blog summarizes FabCon Atlanta announcements for Fabric Data Factory, covering new security controls, OneLake mirroring expansions, Dataflow Gen2 and Copy job upgrades, orchestration improvements, and an MCP server that lets agentic tools integrate with Fabric Data Factory capabilities.
Microsoft Fabric Blog (with coauthor Bogdan Crivat referenced in the post) announces public previews and updates to migration assistants that move Azure Data Factory pipelines, Azure Synapse Spark artifacts, and Synapse dedicated SQL pools into Microsoft Fabric, aiming to reduce migration risk and simplify orchestration, Spark operations, and data warehousing in a unified SaaS analytics platform.
Microsoft Fabric Blog rounds up new and updated ISV workloads and integrations that run natively in Microsoft Fabric and operate on OneLake data, covering GA and preview offerings (analytics/reporting, data quality, synthetic data, migrations) plus OneLake table-format and catalog integrations.
Microsoft Fabric Blog announces a preview of Planning in Microsoft Fabric IQ, adding budgeting, forecasting, scenario modeling, and collaborative workflows directly on top of governed Fabric data (OneLake, Power BI semantic models, and Fabric SQL writeback), with an eye toward enabling AI-assisted decision-making grounded in business intent.
Microsoft Fabric Blog outlines OneLake updates announced at FabCon and SQLCon 2026, covering new mirroring/shortcut sources, shortcut transformations (including Delta Lake conversions), deeper Microsoft Foundry integration, and expanded governance controls like OneLake security, network access rules, and catalog APIs.
Microsoft Fabric Blog summarizes FabCon | SQLCon announcements focused on Microsoft Fabric and Azure databases: a new Database Hub for unified estate management, new SQL database in Fabric capabilities (migration, security, configuration), Cosmos DB mirroring updates, and developer tooling like GitHub Copilot in SSMS 22.
Microsoft Fabric Blog outlines how Microsoft Fabric Real-Time Intelligence and Fabric IQ aim to provide a shared semantic/ontology layer for real-time operations, enabling AI agents to reason over consistent business context. It also announces a Microsoft–NVIDIA Omniverse integration (private preview in April) and highlights new/updated Fabric capabilities like Maps (GA), Business Events, Graph, ontology improvements, and SQL Operator in Eventstream.
Microsoft Fabric Blog outlines what’s shipping across Fabric Analytics—Spark performance work, Fabric Data Warehouse updates, Power BI semantic modeling improvements, and Fabric Data Agents—plus a new open-source “Agent Skills for Fabric” integration for GitHub Copilot CLI.
Visual Studio Code explains how Agent Skills let you package reusable instructions and resources for a coding agent in VS Code, load them on demand, and invoke them from chat via slash commands like /skill-name.
Allison shares a GitHub update that adds semantic code search to the Copilot coding agent, helping it find relevant code by meaning (not just text matches) and complete tasks slightly faster without requiring any configuration.
Chris Harris walks through installing and verifying the Azure Skills Plugin across GitHub Copilot CLI, VS Code, and Claude Code, including required prerequisites, MCP server setup, and quick smoke tests to confirm the Azure tools are actually being called.
Allison announces a public preview feature where AI coding agents can invoke GitHub secret scanning via the GitHub MCP Server, helping developers catch exposed credentials in code changes before committing or opening a pull request.
bobmital explains how to run large-scale LLM inference on Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), covering GPU parallelism choices, cloud/edge/hybrid deployment topology, and the security and governance controls (private clusters, Entra ID, Key Vault) needed to make inference production-safe.
Kate Catlin reports that OpenAI’s GPT-5.4 mini model is now generally available in GitHub Copilot, outlining where you can select it (IDEs, CLI, mobile), who gets access (Pro/Business/Enterprise plans), and what admins/users need to do to enable it.
Allison announces that GitHub Copilot usage metrics now support organization-level reporting for GitHub Copilot CLI activity, including daily active CLI users, session/request counts, and token usage totals to help admins track adoption and consumption.
